Four Tennessee lawmakers who had been listed as co-sponsors of a bill that seeks to impose stricter regulations on event ticketing practices and the ticket resale market have pulled their support of the measure.

House Bill 1000, also known as the Fairness in Ticketing Act bill, has lost the backing of Rep. Susan Lynn, R-Mt. Juliet; Rep. Bill Sanderson, R-Kenton; Rep. Jim Coley, R-Bartlett; and Rep. David Hawk, R-Greenville, according to a news release sent out by an organization that opposes the legislation. None of the representatives returned telephone calls seeking comment Thursday.
